40 Years Later and We’re All Still Slaves

Posted on January 20, 2008 - Filed Under Living Free | Leave a Comment

If Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr hadn’t been shot on April 4th, 1968 while standing in front of his Memphis motel room he’d have celebrated his 79th birthday last week. Hmmm… actually he probably would have been dead from something else by age 79, but that’s not really the point. The powers that be have decreed that we should all memorialize him today. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of Martin Luther King. The man was brilliant and…

According to Reuters, a japanese firm has taken the concept of Universal Health Care to its logical conclusion-

TOKYO (Reuters) - Hoping to send the message that pets are life-long partners not disposable accessories, a Japanese maker of medicines for animals has begun giving employees who own dogs or cats a monthly “family allowance” for their pets.

The number of pets in Japan has grown with greater affluence and a falling birth rate and there are now more pet cats and dogs…

Yep, It’s Christmas

Another Christmas successfully concluded. Well, for me at least. See, Z’s Christmas tradition is to spend the day with family friends at their Christmas and that just doesn’t seem right to me, so I spend most of Christmas Day alone. I got up early and headed over to her house for Santa gifts and stockings. Z got a new camera, so we have a few test pictures.

I actually got my gifts from the kids last night. Z made me this…

Bare Your Soul To Johnny Depp

I grew up in a theater family. My grandfather was famous throughout Northern California for playing Tevia in Fiddler On The Roof, my uncle still makes his living as a stage actor, and I was in my first play at the age of 6. Obviously, we attended the theater frequently, but I was mostly just a bored kid. Until, that is, I saw the road production of Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street in the early 1980s. Now…

What Does Your Christmas Tree Say About You?

As I traveled the main drag of the post-rural communities that I now call home and witnessed the Christmas Tree lots springing up I began to wonder and remember. When I was a child our Christmas tree was decorated with a mish-mash of ornaments largely selected and created by my sister and I. These were mixed with singular ornaments that our mother had purchased or received over the years from various family, friends and craft fairs. Glancing over our tree…

Sheeple Still Have No Gravestone 1+ Year After Death

It both saddens and amazes me how docile we Americans have become over the last 240 years or so. Our forefathers threw tea into the ocean over a a tax of a couple of pennies, but modern Americans are such sheeple that the remote threat of pissing off a corporation controls their lives. Dramatic case in point from the (ironically named) Middlesex Patriot News-

Camren, 6, and Damen, 2, sons of Tammy and Randy Rager of Middlesex Twp., died that night…
